P. 28
‘DO read the Bible, attend church, pray, and give lots of money.’
‘DON’T cuss, steal, cheat, commit adultery, yell at your spouse,
kick the cat, or be a brat.’
I’ve coined this maxim that I know is true:
Good behavior will never produce correct belief, but
correct belief will eventually produce good behavior!
Receive from God! It’s what gospel truth is all about!
If we receive the gospel as seed into us,
it produces good fruit from us!
God is smart! He knows if he plants apple seeds
in us, he is not going to raise pumpkins!
I Love Being ‘The Gospel Coach’
I started out in counseling, and got my counseling credential
from NCCA (National Christian Counselors Association). I found
myself doing personal counseling in addition to law. I discovered
that many people will talk to a lawyer about personal things
before they’ll talk to someone else. So I did a lot of hip-pocket
counseling while I was a lawyer.
But it wasn’t long before I got burned-out of trying to seriously
counsel people. Most just wanted second opinion, because they
didn’t like the first opinion they had been given by someone else.
